on wednesday with pressing she's in pain and other chinese leaders. analysts say biden is starting his six day he shouldn't or in japan to highlight the decades old u s japan alliance and to court in a response to china will travel to south korea later this week. us leaders responded quickly to china's move with both words and actions. top officials criticize the chinese for trying to change the status quo in the asia pacific. and military commander said b fifty two bombers to fly over the air defense identification zone. it sent a strong message to authorities in beijing that the operations of us forces in the region wouldn't change we as bonnie glaser with the center for strategic and international studies about biden's visit to the region and how much will the identification zone dominate the talks. i think this new air defense identification zone but china

has announced will be a very important topic of discussion it has created new tensions between china and the united states. it has certainly increased. the friction between china and japan. and now introduced new tensions between china and south korea and created the potential for accidents. in the region that could be quite dangerous. it is the tightening of the announcement and the extent of this zone that i think is quite worrisome to the united states as well as the procedures that the chinese have announced that apply to aircraft that are flying through the set and therefore i think that the united states does not expect that china will rescind this zone. i'm wiped i think the us hopes that we can influence how the chinese actually implement these procedures. the circumstances

under which they intercept aircraft flying through the zone. i think you will certainly encourage more diplomacy on any specific discussions about confidence building measures up between your forces in particular but also between other parts of the military and law enforcement systems. i think overall. wh the vice president is going to do is encourage a lessening of tensions between china and japan and underscore how important the sino japanese relations that is out to both countries and to the preservation of stability prosperity in northeast asia there was bonnie glaser senior advisor for asia at the center for strategic and international studies a us think tank based in washington. i i i. haiku are
